looking at a kit

I find when i am looking at a kit in SBM from the store that I cant see them! They are too small, can they please be made bigger so I can see what elements are there. I know that you can click on them to make them bigger, but they are still too small.

Also, would it be possible if the CT's were able to make pages with a new kit before it is released so that when it is released then pages can be dispayed with the kit in the store. I find that really helps when i want to purchase something.

You're right. Too small...

I think that we could add some layouts samples when we submit the kit. Karin could confirm us if we are allowed... But I don't see why we couldn't :-).

Sandrine - let me think on this (samples pages) and get back to you. I do like the idea especially if it helps showcase what can be done with a kit. In the past, we have had a bit of trouble with sample layouts in the store though as some customers expect that this means that template pages are also included (i.e., that the sample pages are included template pages - arising out of the selling kits and Scrapbook MAX! specific template pages in our store).

However, maybe there's a way to clearly identify screenshots as samples versus included content. I'll think on this and get back to you - the key will be to present things as not to create confusion/disappointment for customers and extra support work behind the scenes.

Hi Karin - there is ways around it - here is an example where you have a simple overlay with SAMPLE written on it or you could put other names etc to it. Note I have also put on this example - wordart not included to be very clear.
Just an idea.

I'll post something for the designers in the next few days dealing with a specific convention for posting sample layouts - thank you. Our goal is just to minimize confusion and not create an expectation that template pages are included - something like this seems clear. Thanks!

Great suggestion Kaye! The previews in the store are too small to view. It would be a great idea to have them enlarged to at least 1/3 of the screen. I would also like to see previews of the papers and embellishments separately so you can really see what is included in the kits. Having layout samples made with the kits is a great idea to showcase with the preview. I feel that it will help with the sales if customers can see how they can use the kit in a variety of ways.
